Well internet reporters seem very adamant that Steppenwolf is the villain of part one, so I assume that it'll be "Steppenwolf and some New Gods are the recon/heralds/occupying force Darkseid sends, they're pushed back by the League, Darkseid decides if he wants something done right..." which would have him either as a minor role or being introduced towards the end of it. I have to imagine keeping him as the major villain will be kept for the sequel. My guess is the main closure of the story they're going to go for will be the the Superman arc of going from the unsure man of MoS and BvS to defending His World and standing in the face of Gods, now having risen from the grave, Wonder Woman finding her faith in man again, Bruce regaining hope, Flash and Cyborg proving themselves, Aquaman being... Aquaman (I guess his main arc in JL will be, from stuff that's been mentioned, that Atlanteans and Amazons are not on good terms, and his arc will be learning to forgive and accept Diana as an equal and a partner), that sort of stuff. Delivering emotional closure to the stuff in BvS rather than straight plot bows beyond the Steppenwolf stuff. I also assume we'll find out who is playing some of the New Gods at SDCC and I bet Willem Dafoe is Highfather or some poo poo. And supposedly Javier Bardem has been in negotiations, and I can only imagine if you're looking for a Darkseid... That would be fascinating, by the way. Two No Country alums playing the galactic-level, end boss baddies of two comics publishers in big crossover blockbuster event pictures that basically tentpole an entire year for their respective studios alongside one other huge property (Star Wars and Harry Potter). How different the industry has gotten since 2007.

Though to be honest, Simmons looked pretty fit in Whiplash. The guy has a really solid foundation to build on for an older dude.

JacKed Simmons. That's dope. Whiplash was the first time I was really blown away by him, even with his great JJ performance. I heard he was scary as gently caress on Oz, and I believe it.

According to one supposed leak, Justice League is about Steppenwolf invading to recover three Mother Boxes (whatever those are) that were left behind the last time Darkseid invaded Earth and was repulsed by an alliance of Atlantis, the Amazons, and humans.

Eh. I hope they bring the Anti-Life Equation into it. Not the stupid one from the recent comics though; just the concept.

WB have signed Sacha Baron Cohen to star in Mandrake the Magician http://variety.com/2016/film/news/sacha-baron-cohen-mandrake-the-magician-1201790878/ I guess they're banking on Doctor Strange making comicbook magicians cool again, or at least bankable. It's kind of amazing how many comicbook characters created in the 1930s are getting movies these days

What's the odds that they're not planning on a Defenders shared universe? Edit: poo poo, do Paramount still have the rights to The Phantom? That'd be a spanner in the works. Edit 2: Fox own Flash Gordon, there ain't gonna be any Defenders film Snowglobe of Doom fucked around with this message at 16:33 on Jun 8, 2016 |

Obviously they're going for the Arkham Asylum look for Gordon. He was pretty buff in that one.Snowglobe of Doom posted:Apparently a whole bunch of the actors in Oz started hitting the weights when season 1 started screening and they realised what they looked like naked Very ambitious, since the average life span of a character in HBO's Oz was two episodes.

I hope it's comics accurate and the whole movie is him just saying "I'm so loving rich. I know so many loving spells." Readily dispatching low level gangsters who don't stand a chance. Every once in a while saying "virtual reality!" and turning sand into a cake while onlookers go "Wow! So magical!" Giving a tour of his mansion all like "Yeah this is the orb of power. I could destroy the world with it easily."

I couldn't stop laughing that EVERYONE has auto-armoring suits after the shot/shot/shot/shot of everyone powering it on. I'm going to guess that's a gameplay feature in the new one, but drat was that kinda masturbatory.

Kinda cool for Flash's boots, Batman always had that poo poo so what can ya do, but then Supergirl and Superman's mech suits start assembling and it goes full retard. I love the Injustice comics but that trailer was toooo much. That couldn't have been Blur studios, right? I don't think they'd release something with such poor action choreography.

I feel dumb for even stretching my brain this far but in the Injustice universe people have been coming at Superman with kryptonite, magic, nukes, red sun energy, alien armies, ancient pantheons and Kryptonian HGH pills for five years straight so some extra contingency armor actually isn't a terrible idea.

It's a gameplay thing, you get different armor for characters that affects their stats, seems like a terrible idea for a fighting game but w/e it's not like the MK team has ever been primarily balance-oriented (still bugs me tho just cuz I like being certain that me being bad at fighting games is the reason i lost)
